week #5

and so begins another week of school. i wasn't really looking forward to it, but i went and ended up having a pretty good time. the first half was a little hard because my brain was having a hard time recalling words. but after the break we played Scrabble and i did really well. i didn't even have to use my dictionary very much! and after we used up all the letters, we still had a good 15 minutes left, so we talked and built a little tower with the scrabble pieces and he taught me new words like "first, second, and third", all the way up to eighth, then class was over.

Susanne and i booked it down to the travel agency to get our refund because of the address error on the agency's part for our Chichi trip yesterday. we went in, spoke Spanish, she replied something i didn't really understand, Susanne didn't get upset so i went with it, and then the girl gave us our money back. it was all very easy and we were happy. and most of the way down there we spoke in spanish to each other. which was nice. except i still get the verbs for "tu" and "el" mixed up. i always forget to add the S on the end. but it's ok.

then we walked to the market because she wanted to shop some more before lunch. she loves jewelry. and then we took a tuk-tuk home and had lunch. we were a little late, but that's ok. Adolfo's cousin was there, so when i arrived at the table i talked to him in Spanish to say hello, nice to meet you, etc., Adolfo commended my spanish and Anna said, "no accent!" :-)

Lesbia just came by and gave me a hard time about the party. she's an odd girl, but is turning more friendly as time goes by.
